Help promote the anti drug
campaigns in your school AND home. It is NEVER too early to start
teaching your children the importance of NOT using drugs.
*Red Ribbon Week is the
oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. Red Ribbon
Week generally takes place the last full week in October, with the
weekends before and following the last full week included as appropriate
celebration dates.
Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to
take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a
commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to
live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug
free America.
And, perhaps more importantly, Red Ribbon Week commemorates the ultimate
sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at
the hands of drug traffikers in Mexico while fighting the battle against
illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe.
